• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

heya Izdaari.

As I recall you came from a more Pentecostal background and were looking at joining the TEC.....I see though Your icon shows Luthers Rose. did you find the ELCA a better fit did you?
Well, actually I joined both the TEC and ELCA, since my new church has both affiliations, not just the full communion arrangement the two denominations have, but actually under a bishop from each. So I guess that makes me Episcopalutheran. ^_^

Your church should be packed then! :D

hahahaha I wish.

sadly when people become disillusioned they often loose faith or at least loose faith in organised religion. The Mission of our movement here in Australia is to seek out those who have been disillusioned and who want to be part of a faith community again.

But I do expect that we will grow, especially as churches like the Catholic Church cement their opposition to civil rights and women's ordination.

Hi Ultrajectine, a fellow Australian here! If you don't mind me asking what Old Catholic church are you a part of?

hey Reverting Anglican. Im part of the Old Catholic Church of Australia; It can trace it's Apostolic Succession to the utrecht Communion of Churches, we are however not affiliated with utrecht at this time. (something our Archbishop would like to change in the future) so we would be classed as a "Independent Catholic Church"

Thanks for the info Ultrajectine. Where is your Church based and what is your Archbishops name? Does the Church have a website?
